Rip-off Report REVIEW:

Editor's UPDATE: Positive Rating and Recognition has been given to Freedom Debt Relief for its Commitment to Excellence in customer service.

Rip-off Report's reviewof Freedom Debt Relief (FDR) uncovers continuous commitment to ongoing improvements in customer service with the goal of total client satisfaction. This means that clients can expect the company will always work towards finding a mutually satisfactory resolution to any complaints or concerns. FDR's primary concern is to get their clients debt free in 2-3 years with the best possible client experience.

Freedom Debt Relief's CEO stated "We understand that the only way to grow as a company is by recognizing that we can and should get better every day and then committing the resources necessary to achieve excellence". He then added, "We have a terrific business committed to excellence but we also know that we have made mistakes, all businesses do, but it's how we react to those mistake and fix them that makes us a better company ".

As a sign of their commitment, Freedom Debt Relief recently conducted a customer and employee survey with a the commitment to continual improvement and customer service excellence. As a result of this survey Freedom Debt Relief has implemented new processes centered around a superior customer experience. An executive told Rip-off Report that Freedom Debt Relief's corporate mantra is clients first, employees second and profits third if you take care of the first two the third will follow.

Rip-off Report has confirmed that Freedom Debt Relief's approach to business includes company-wide quality assurance initiatives. The result of which, leads to continual dedication to client focused processes, customer outcomes and employee relations. Rip-off Report was pleased to learn that the company's past and current approach to business is focused on its pledge to total commitment towards client satisfaction. Rip-off Report also learned the company has won an award as Best Places to Work in its market in addition to a prestigious award by Ernst & Young as Entrepreneurs of the Year in northern California.



A senior Freedom Debt Relief executive commented "We're at a time in our country's history where the average American family is saving less than $450 per year and has a mountain of debt compounding at very high rates. We do our very best to get our clients out of debt and have a track record of settling debt for 49% of what is owed but this is not a silver bullet, there are no free lunches". Rip-off Report feels it should comment that when a consumer assumes credit card debt it can often become a very difficult process keep up with interest and to pay back the full principal owed. In addition there are the aggressive collector calls and stress. In the business that Freedom Debt Relief operates they understand the pain associated with unsecured debt spiraling out of control and they have built a team around reducing that pain to the extent it is possible

It is our opinion that individuals experiencing financial difficulty can feel confident in the fact that Freedom Debt Relief has worked with thousands of customers and has successfully settled tens of thousands of accounts. FDR has over 450 employees dedicated to providing the best possible customer service and client outcome.

FDR recognizes that complaints posted on Ripoff Report (true or not) are issues that need to be addressed and if handled correctly can be valuable learning opportunities. With the feedback generated by Rip-off Report's Investigation FDR has made organizational changes allowing their clients a more streamlined approach to problem resolution and a total overall commitment to customer experience.

In summary, after our investigation, which included discussions with Freedom Debt Relief Senior Management, Rip-off Report is convinced that the company has been and is committed to quality delivery of services resulting in total client satisfaction.

===================== NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED

Freedom Debt Relief THIS IS A SCAM--THEY TAKE YOUR MONEY AND RUN! San Mateo California

My family entered into this program 11 months ago. We had a very large amount of debt and they told it would take 36 months to settle. The biggest problem with this company and others is they want their fees up front so very little money goes into what is called your account. Because this takes so much time there were creditors in our case that didn't wait and filed lawsuits.

We are now in bankruptcy and Freedom collected over $7,000.00 from us in fees that are not refundable. We knew this going in (our bad) but what we didn't know and they did not tell us is that with some creditors if you owe a large amount to them they don't have the patience to wait. This is where I think they are scam artists. They tell you they will work very hard for you but if that were truly the case we would not have been sued.

We were told by them that they can't do anything with your creditors until you have enough money in your account to negotiate. This is the reason we were sued. They hadn't even talked to these people.

The other thing is their customer service stinks. They argue with you when ask questions about why they haven't done something or if you have questions about your money.

I could go on and on but my family is now in financial ruin and we just have to pray that the Lord will provide.

If anyone is out there needing help please try and find a reputable business (preferrably a christian based) or just file bankruptcy. Sometimes, and in our case it's not all your fault.
